 Straight
Fittings
Amongst various industrial
fittings, 37 degree flared straight tube fittings occupy a place of
prominence. These tube fittings are the most commonly used tube
connection in worldwide use today. The variety of fitting configurations
and jump sizes available provide for simplified fabrication requirements
and reduced parts count in complex systems.
Straight flare fitting are normally manufactured from cold drawn bar
stocks and all angular fittings from forgings. This kind of forged
construction has the following benefits:
- It results in very close grain structure
- It gives high reliability to the fitting, eliminating all
possibilities of leakage
- It can withstand high pressures with numerous makes and remakes
even under severe operating conditions.
Also, these fittings can be
easily used in both metric and inch tubing's. One single 37 degree
fitting body can take both metric and inch tubes just by change in
sleeves. As the nuts used are the same, the cost of the component comes
down drastically and also the inventory.
Some of the common 37 degree straight flared tube fittings:
- Union
- Bulkhead Union
- Reducing Union
- Male Connector (Flared Tube End X Male NPT Thread)
- Male Connector (Flared Tube End X Male ISO Tapered Pipe Thread)
- Male Connector (Flared Tube End X Male ISO Parallel Pipe Thread)
- Male Connector (Flared Tube End X Male UNF Straight Thread)
- Female Connector (Flared Tube End X Female NPT Thread)
- Female Connector (Flared Tube End X Female ISO Parallel Pipe
Thread)
